[php-maint] Bug#783246: php5en(dis)mod: mandatory space between semicolon and priority key

[J G Miller]

Package: php5-common
Version: 5.6.28+dfsg-0+deb8u1
Followup-For: Bug #783246

Allowing some white space on the priority line before the word priority
and around the equals sign in the get_priority function would be most welcome.

This strictness results for me in duplicate symlinks with wrong
priority 20 to keep appearing every time there is an update and
hourly already loaded mail messages and the need for manual pruning.

        echo $priority
        return 0

Incidentally, why the double backslash on the reference 1, viz \\1,
rather than the normal single backslash \1?

Thanking your for your support.
